I'm going to be a redheaded stepchild

[EllyMae]

You sound like a son that really cares about his mom and you are wanting her to be happy. THat is really sweet. I don't have a similar situation, I just wanted to compliment you on your devotion to your mom. That shows what a generous, unselfish person your are.

yup

My parents divorced when I was in HS and my sister in grade school. Then my dad remarried. And I married and moved out of state.
I came home when my dad ha a massive stroke and died a few weeks after my return.

Then my mom met her dh. I was in my late 20s when they married.
He is a good guy. But I honestly dont know what possessed my mom to remarry

But then again I dont really know why I did either some days.

People will call him my father, but I always correct them. I had a father, he died in 98. My mothers husband is just that. Her husband. Not my father.. or even my step father. I was older when they married. Only teens and younger have a step parents.

So, technically I won't be a redheaded step child!

Inheritance should never become an issue, my Mom does have a house and a seperate piece of property, but I've already told her to leave them to my only Brother because he needs it more than I do.

And as for my Mom's soon to be husband, he does have money and is quite comfortable, and I would have no right or desire for anything he leaves behind, so that won't be an issue either.

I am however urging that both my Mom and her boyfriend have prenup's drawn up, so that both are protected.

my mom had a pre nup done up when they decided to get married.
They have it so that my moms house and such is hers, and that it gets split between my sister and I. He has two or three grown kids as well. But they do not have a good relationship. They dont speak. Their mom did a number on the kids heads.
He sold his oil company 5 years ago. My mom retired 3 years ago Feb 14.
He had a stroke the day before Easter the same year. It hasnt been easy. On either him or my mom.
He introduces my sister and I as his step daughters. But neither of us consider him our step father. Like I said. Great guy. Loves my mom. But I already have a dad. And at 38 I am just too old to have a step dad.
